Interactive Futures 09: Stereo

Interactive Futures 09: Stereo will be held in the Intersections Digital Studios at Emily Carr, November 19-21, 2009. Interactive Futures (IF) is a forum for showing current tendencies in digital media art as well as a conference for exploring ideas and research related to technology and art. The conference consists of keynote addresses, presentations, exhibitions, and performances. IF'09 will bring national and international presenters, performers and artists acknowledged for their research and production to contribute to an expansion of knowledge within the thematic of "stereo".

The word "stereo" usually refers to two-channel sound or stereoscopic 3D. For IF'09: Stereo, we are showcasing work and research that specifically experiments with the perceptual event that occurs from symmetrical sources (2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 data streams). IF'09: Stereo has invited media artists, designers, researchers and filmmakers experimenting with: stereographic projection; illusionary sound and vision; and methods of co-location (ways of simultaneously mapping and representing more than one location). The full program is available on the web site.

Attendance at Interactive Futures is kept small to maximize engagement with the works and topics, and promote new partnerships and collaborations. The set of presenters has already been established, but there is still room to register as a participant. We hope to see you there!
